Fabulous Cinquain Poems

Today students learned about cinquain poems. Sibghat, Jonathan, Dimitri, Grace, and Anum have offered to share their poems on the blog for your enjoyment. * Please note that one of the lines on the cinquain instruction sheet in the poetry journal was accidentally cut when I was assembling the page. Students were given a new instruction sheet in class today, which they were asked to take home to guide their work. Thank you.
